I Made A Promise
Thought I’d briefly mention a web site I completed for a friend last week … www.imadeapromise.com.au.
It’s a very simple six-page site to support a book - I Made A Promise - which will be in bookstores in November. The author, Danny Smith, wanted information about the book and the contributors, a simple Buy Now function (via PayPal), a way for would-be contributors to submit a story for a second book, and an email contact link.
I decided to set up the look and feel to be consistent with the book’s cover (which also made things simpler than having to constuct an entirely new design), coded the site by hand, added in Google Analytics, and set up a new hosting account and two email addresses for Danny. The site validates as XHTML Strict, uses CSS for layout, and renders properly in IE5.5, IE6, IE7, Firefox and Safari.
I haven’t read the book but it looks like it would make a good Christmas present. Just $25 + $5 postage within Australia. Go and buy one!
